Sylantro Systems Demonstrates Interoperability With Other IMS Vendors in Pre-PacketCable 2.0 Environment.Sylantro Will Join Future PacketCable 2.0 Interoperability Events, Focusing on MSO (1) (Multiple System Operator) Typically refers to a cable TV organization that owns more than one cable system, but it may refer to an operator of only one system. Services Beyond Voice CAMPBELL, Calif. -- Sylantro Systems, the leading provider of multiplay application feature servers for converged communication applications, today announced its successful participation in the first of a series of PacketCable 2.0 interoperability events. Sylantro joined nine other Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. Multimedia Subsystem (IMS (1) See IP Multimedia Subsystem. (2) (Information Management System) An early IBM hierarchical DBMS for IBM mainframes. IMS was widely implemented throughout the 1970s under MVS and continues to be used under z/OS. ) vendors at CableLabs, a non-profit research and development consortium for cable operators, in demonstrating interoperability among their equipment for supporting Session Initiation Protocol (protocol) Session Initiation Protocol - (SIP) A very simple text-based application-layer control protocol. It creates, modifies, and terminates sessions with one or more participants. Such sessions include Internet telephony and multimedia conferences. It is described in RFC 2543. (SIP) voice services. Sylantro provided its Synergy multiplay application feature server for the August, pre-PacketCable 2.0 event at the PacketCable Application Lab in Louisville, Colorado The City of Louisville (IPA: /'sɪti əv 'luːɪs,vɪl/) is a Home Rule Municipality of about 19,000 residents, located in Boulder County, Colorado, United States. . Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Gallery IPT IPT - IP Telephony and MetaSwitch provided the IMS core network foundation. "Multi-service operators (MSOs) will look to the PacketCable 2.0 interoperability events when making buying decisions for offering voice-related services, so Sylantro's demonstration of its expertise and support for IMS and PacketCable environments will get plenty of attention in the cable marketplace," said Vince Vittore, Senior Analyst, Yankee Group (the Yankee Group, Boston, MA, www.yankeegroup.com) A major market research, analysis and consulting firm founded in 1970 by Howard Anderson. It provides general consulting and strategic planning in the computer and communications field. . The PacketCable 2.0 architecture and specifications -- based on IMS standards -- are designed to expand the capabilities of a cable operators' voice-over-IP platform to support innovative and differentiated, revenue-generating services such as wireless, fixed-mobile convergence, business communications and video communications. Sylantro's Synergy multiplay application feature server and Synapps application-programming interface (API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. ) -- also based on IMS standards--help MSOs sell these new and innovative services. The carrier-grade Synergy software platform -- widely deployed among the world's top ILECs, PTTs, IXCs and CLECs--offers MSOs and their customers unprecedented control, flexibility and ease of use in designing, deploying and managing hosted communications services. Technology Marketing Corporation's IMS Magazine this year named Sylantro's Synergy 4.1 as a recipient of the first-ever IMS Leadership Award. "Our participation in the PacketCable 2.0 interoperability events bolsters our standing in the MSO market," said Marco Limena, president and chief executive officer of Sylantro Systems. "CableLabs is widely respected in the cable industry and we are excited about participating in the ongoing PacketCable Application Lab events and continuing to establish interoperability with the growing IMS and PacketCable vendor community."
